I’m fascinated by the ways larger systems, societal or familial, influence our relationships and ambitions. The intentions behind my work are rooted in curiosity and liberation. This is because, as a 1.5 generation queer Filipina-American, alterity was a constant that pushed me to search for new ways of living and connecting. In the path towards liberation, through character and narrative structure, I actively investigate every detail, especially my own complicity, in the very systems I am questioning. Whatever form that takes, from short films to a television series, exploring the tension between who we are vs. who we have to be is the foundation of the stories I want to tell. https://chloesamillano.com/photography daily 0.75 2022-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e20d504d886a42a7de5d05e/1656295248953-QPLYCMNR6D2YTGQ15CID/000042870020+copy.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e20d504d886a42a7de5d05e/1656295666164-BAP3YN77N9J0ISMXDHZD/000042870013+copy.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e20d504d886a42a7de5d05e/1656296222176-F96HMXB8LF4OOMQLQYBD/000042870007.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e20d504d886a42a7de5d05e/1656296286966-QZ0AS8CEBGJPW0TUCVIK/000042870024.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e20d504d886a42a7de5d05e/1656296376555-TZ9WJ2FJIR6XMCND7F1B/000042890027+copy.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e20d504d886a42a7de5d05e/1656296464019-J304MMCMTADU91E0BICG/000042890030+copy.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e20d504d886a42a7de5d05e/1656296564093-Q39L65NPQHCTQ1JCDKFK/000042890014+copy.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e20d504d886a42a7de5d05e/1656296621482-9C1SH4Y2F7XNEE7G8ZHV/000042880036.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e20d504d886a42a7de5d05e/1657847321380-KX3KUWE03HH8MCORGWZ9/000025280014.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e20d504d886a42a7de5d05e/1657847404257-355UI0GW5U00HB9TWK9R/000025280030.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e20d504d886a42a7de5d05e/1657848041546-AEULCXOKYP4FQT33KJMQ/000025280011.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e20d504d886a42a7de5d05e/e4f1ce0f-8e90-4ed4-bbff-2de6af286ce2/000042870004.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e20d504d886a42a7de5d05e/b56e8781-0efb-4e07-bfbb-47def3d647c9/000042880024+copy.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e20d504d886a42a7de5d05e/872314f0-0fc8-407f-bd2d-e0d41394e005/000042870019+copy.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e20d504d886a42a7de5d05e/0477bc5b-bf05-4edc-97c3-54ec58244e9e/000042880021+copy.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e20d504d886a42a7de5d05e/5b7e2a16-201c-44d0-88ef-50f66f036833/000042870028+copy.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e20d504d886a42a7de5d05e/3b9d9e30-a3cd-4790-8077-c18348879672/000042880033+copy.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e20d504d886a42a7de5d05e/e6c4eec5-87b1-45f3-9412-d103c2ec3015/000042890031+copy.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e20d504d886a42a7de5d05e/350638d5-3892-4b15-a921-973e511c84d0/000042880032+copy.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e20d504d886a42a7de5d05e/9b3c8209-55b9-4537-b9d6-c7435d689da3/000042890032+copy.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e20d504d886a42a7de5d05e/fdf8b6f2-203c-4ccc-920b-c56a48a159ef/000042890002+copy.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e20d504d886a42a7de5d05e/6ede7d97-438c-4b43-909c-08e4e7ec3810/000042870032+copy.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e20d504d886a42a7de5d05e/983ab728-a003-4c9a-9ea0-873e3ee56978/000042890005+copy.jpg Photography https://chloesamillano.com/writing daily 0.75 2026-01-05 https://chloesamillano.com/portfolio-2 daily 0.75 2021-09-20 https://chloesamillano.com/portfolio-2/project-six-2lg36 monthly 0.5 2020-05-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847421455-8JW2CPL3ZB56F2Z8ACLN/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Work -
